While cannabis is the most frequently found illegal drug in drivers killed or injured in motor vehicle collisions, little is know about driving under the influence of cannabis (DUIC) in the general population. We report information on the incidence of DUIC in a representative sample of the Ontario adult population. Among all drivers, 1.9% reported DUIC in the previous 12 months. Several factors influenced the likelihood of reported DUIC, including gender, age, marital status and education level. Among cannabis users, DUIC appeared to be a relatively common behaviour; 22.8% reported DUIC, and the probability of the behaviour was significantly influenced by gender and education level. As well, DUIC and drinking-driving were strongly related in this sample. These data underscore the need to obtain more information on this behaviour, including a more complete understanding of any risks involved.
虽然大麻是在机动车碰撞事故中死亡或受伤的司机身上最常发现的非法药物,但对于普通人群中受大麻影响驾驶(DUIC)的情况却知之甚少。我们报告了安大略省成年人口代表性样本中DUIC的发生率。在所有司机中,1.9%的人报告在过去12个月中有过受大麻影响驾驶的情况。几个因素影响了报告的受大麻影响驾驶的可能性,包括性别、年龄、婚姻状况和教育水平。在大麻使用者中,受大麻影响驾驶似乎是一种相对常见的行为;22.8%的人报告有过受大麻影响驾驶的情况,而且这种行为的可能性受到性别和教育水平的显著影响。此外,在这个样本中,受大麻影响驾驶和酒后驾驶密切相关。这些数据强调了获取更多关于这种行为信息的必要性,包括更全面地了解其中涉及的任何风险。
